Screen anyone on your books
The same API handles individuals and corporate entities. One endpoint, one credit charge, the same audit trail.
Individual screening
Screen natural persons — directors, beneficial owners, customers, counterparties. Provide name plus any corroborating details you hold to increase confidence.
- Name matching with phonetic and transliteration variants
- DOB corroboration (+15 pts exact, +8 pts year)
- Nationality corroboration (+7 pts)
- Alias matching across AKA / FKA names on record
- Scoring up to 100 with full corroboration
Corporate entity screening
Screen companies, banks, funds, and other legal entities against the full consolidated lists. Sanctions cover organisations as well as individuals — don't leave the corporate side unchecked.
- Trading name, legal name, and registered alias matching
- Phonetic matching handles transliterations and abbreviations
- Score rescaled to 0-100 (no DOB bias for corporate entities)
- Covers sanctioned banks, state-owned enterprises, and funds
- Same threshold bands: confirmed hit ≥85, possible match 60-84
